Camp Eagle Hill Brochure Parent Guide 2012 : Page-10medical info Medical Forms should be filled out when your child(ren) is/are examined by your family’s physician. We are required to have these forms at camp. They must be completed and returned to us by no later than June 1st! Information pertaining to any medications that you will be sending with your child to camp is to be included on the medical form, as is information allowing you to indicate what medications may be used for your child’s care. As a note, please make sure that all medica-tions sent to camp have both your child’s name and the name of the medication on them! We have not had, nor do we anticipate having, medical difficulties of any nature at camp. We are, however, required by NewYork State to provide information sheets concerning Meningitis, which will give you some details on this topic. We provide a required form asking you to confirm that you have received this information. The same form will ask if your child has received the meningitis immunization within the last 10 years. As can be viewed on the face of this form, the act of immunizing your child against this disease is an option that you may already have taken, or may decide to take prior to camp. We suggest, should you have any questions about having your child immunized, that you discuss this issue with your family’s physician. We must have this form returned to us along with our Camp Medical Form by June 1st. Our Camp Infirmary is available to your child at all times during his/her stay with us at camp. When a child is not well, or has some type of ail-ment, a member of our Infirmary Staff will attend to your child’s medical care. Occasionally, a camper will stay overnight at our Infirmary to gain proper rest and medical treatment. Usually, campers that stay in the Infir-mary overnight, return to their groups and the program of camp the morn-ing after their overnight stay. When a child stays in the Infirmary overnight for two nights in a row, it is camp policy to inform parents by telephone as to their child’s physical condition. Where the camp Medical Staff feels that a particular camper should be seen by the camp’s Doctor off the grounds of camp, a second phone call to parents is made to alert parents at home of the Doctor’s thoughts and possible call for use of a prescription medi-cation. In the rare event that a camper is seen at one of the two nearby Hospital Emergency Rooms, an immediate call to parents is made by the camp. If you would like communications with your family regarding your child’s health to be other than what is stated above, we ask that you please note your needs on our CAMPER MEDICAL FORM. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call us at our camp office. man-datory medical form We must have a signed medical con-sent, pre-scription medication form, as well as copies of insurance cards! infirmary vis-its & doctor appointments Parent’s Guide 10 Medical InformationMedical Forms should be filled out when your child(ren) is/are examined by your family’s physician.
